What would Colin chapman have said had he seen a Lotus Elise propulsed into space? Specifically one that had it’s Toyota engine removed and replaced by a battery pack and electric motors.
Simple? Heavens no.
Add lightness? No, it is called Falcon Heavy for a reason.

The “lightness” is why Falcons work... but I’ll bet CC would still have hated it, found it silly

I believe they removed everything from the Roadster except from what you can see. No batteries, no motor, no suspension, etc.. It’s just a shell.
